This may be baked or I might have a lousy pool table. |
|
|
At first I thought you meant a swimming pool, and I know a guy who had one in the shape of Tennessee. |
|
|
I don't think you know the definition of a Parallelogram, because a standard pool table is already one. I think you were thinking Rhombus. Anyhow you get a fish for error. |
|

It might be fun if that were part of your shot. E.g. "Jeanette Lee is electing a reangulation of the table - recall that each player only gets to use this once per game - Aha! what a beautiful rearrangement, the ball is no longer trapped against the wall and she's got a clear shot at the 9 ball." |
|
|
[Silent Phar], true, but no mistake. |
|
|
But isnt it a bit trollish to bone for one small unaviodable word? What else would you call what I am describing? It is a parallelogram, nothing else. Rhombus is incorrect. Rhombii have equal side lengths. |
|
|
A 90 degree parallelogram is correctly called a rectangle. We dont call squares rectangles, yet they are one. |
|
|
Non-rectangular paralleogram pool table? Are we cool with that? |
|
|
If the table was only a couple of degrees out then fine, it might make a good table to hustle on - but there are many and varied novelty pool tables. I've played on a hexagonal, oval and T-shaped tables not to mention the craziness that is bar-billiards. |

I just had an image of all the swimmers being left in a (drowning) mass in one corner at the end of a race. |

|
8-ball, uh... obtuse pocket. |
|
|
I was actually thinking of the acute angle - Or was that a dig? :) |
|
|
The great bulk of people can't wrap their minds around the physics of pool on a standard table. |
|
|
Your right, a rhombus does have equal sides. When I envisioned this idea, I thought of it being like a squared table. |
|
|
Anyway, since you think and or feel I was at fault with my words, a bun he gets. I don't know what a troll is, unless you are referring to that which lives under a bridge, more commonly known as a homeless man. |

On this site "troll" shows up more than does "homeless man." |
